Recall 17V184 affects 56,766 2013-2014 Nissan Murano vehicles for a power-steering-hose clamp defect that can leak fluid. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
Nissan is recalling 56,766 2013-2014 Murano vehicles because the power steering hose clamp can fail to hold the hose in place, so power steering fluid leaks. If that fluid reaches hot engine or exhaust parts, fire risk increases, and Nissan dealers will inspect and secure the hose free of charge.

What's wrong?
The power steering hose on the 2013-2014 Nissan Murano carries hydraulic fluid between the power steering pump, lines, and steering gear. That fluid helps the system add assist when you turn the wheel, especially at low speed. The hose connection depends on a clamp that holds the hose tight enough to keep fluid sealed inside.
On affected Muranos, the clamp was made with the wrong diameter because of a supplier manufacturing error. The clamp does not grip the hose firmly enough over time. If the hose separates from its fitting, power steering fluid leaks out and the steering system loses the fluid pressure it needs for normal assist.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner first notices the problem when fluid leaks or steering effort changes after the hose has already separated.
Who's affected?
Both listed model years involve the same power steering system component.

The year and model narrow the list, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
If power steering fluid leaks onto hot engine or exhaust components, it can increase the risk of a fire. Schedule the hose-kit repair soon and avoid postponing service if you notice fluid loss or a burning odor. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2014 Nissan Murano is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free power steering high-pressure hose kit installation that secures the hose and stops the fluid-leak path near hot engine or exhaust parts.
- Bring the recall notice if Nissan has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V184 when you call.
- Avoid driving if you see power steering fluid, smell burning fluid, see smoke, or feel heavier steering; call the Nissan dealer before moving the vehicle.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician installs a power steering high pressure hose kit to secure the hose and address the leak condition described in recall 17V184. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Nissan began the recall on May 10, 2017, so affected vehicles can receive the dealer repair now. If you've already paid out of pocket for this power steering hose repair before the owner notice, Nissan's reimbursement statement sets out coverage for pre-notice remedy costs. Keep your repair paperwork and contact Nissan customer service for claim instructions.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 17V184?
Recall 17V184 covers 56,766 2013-2014 Nissan Murano vehicles with a power-steering hose clamp that can fail to secure the hose. If the hose detaches, power steering fluid can leak onto hot engine or exhaust parts and increase fire risk. Nissan dealers install a power steering high pressure hose kit for free.
What should I do if my 2013-2014 Nissan Murano is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 17V184. If it is, contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the power steering high pressure hose kit installation. Reference recall number 17V184 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair the defect at no cost, and Nissan will install the power steering high pressure hose kit free of charge at any franchised Nissan dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is fire. A loose power-steering hose can detach and leak fluid. If that fluid reaches hot engine or exhaust components, the vehicle has an increased fire risk. Confirm your VIN, then schedule the free dealer repair if your Murano is included.
What if I bought my Nissan Murano used?
